In short: Arrogant organisersIn full: As others have said it is nigh on certain the course was mis measured. Shame really since it's a genuine PB potential course and many of the bells and whistles were above average. However if we can't trust that the route is accurate what on earth is the point? Might as well just go out for a quick ish training run on your own. There remains a slim chance the organisers GSI might do a U turn but their head-in-the-sand arrogant denial approach does them no favours. I suspect they know they've messed up and they're just hoping everyone forgets and moves on. I guess - to be optimistic - the one thing they're certain to get right next year will be course length since they'll be under intense scrutiny. As for all these East Lothian based races the scenery is deeply average so don't turn up expecting to see the sights of Edinburgh!Date of review: September 30, 2014

In short: Great course. Very dependent on conditionsIn full: As many have said they really should start this race at 8am and either ditch the unnecessary half ( there's another Edinburgh half in April which used to be over an almost identical course), set the half runners off at same time (like Leicester) or do the half on sat as a double loop of the 10k course. 3 of the last 5 years it's been hot - not rocket science to work out that it seems to be a recurring theme. The organisers really listened and learned to sort out the disgrace that was last year's finish debacle so people power can work after all!Might do it again but it's getting competition now with new UK spring races so needs to keep up to maintain a good number of entrants. Don't come if you want to see Edinburgh - save that for another tripDate of review: May 28, 2012
